Queens Of The Stone Age

Beyonce will headline Glastonbury festival's last night tonight. The R&B singer will play on the Pyramid stage while Queens of the Stone Age will play the Other Stage. It's expected that Beyonce will bring Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams with her for a Destiny's Child reunion.

The list includes tracks from all five of the Queens' albums to date -- from their 1998 self-titled debut to 2007's 'Era Vulgaris' -- and features all the usual suspects like 'Lost Art of Keeping a Secret' and 'No One Knows' alongside more obscure cuts. BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe will be announcing the tunes fans have chosen to be their feel good hits of the summer on his pre-Glastonbury 23 June show. Voting is open until June 9.

It absolutely was inducted in to the National Film Registry from the Library of Congress in 2009 for its cultural and historical importance.It is actually the primary time the jacket has become place up for sale by Jackson's costume designers Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush due to the fact they were offered the item through the singer before his dying.

Natasha Richardson

Two many years back immediately, Natasha Richardson died in the age of 45 from the head injury she experienced though skiing two days earlier. Her untimely demise from what in the beginning seemed to be a small accident was surprising. Including towards the tragedy was the fact that her lifestyle and occupation have been in full bloom.

Nevertheless she had distanced herself skillfully in the illustrious Redgrave household (which include her mother Vanessa and aunt Lynn) so as to ascertain her very own reputation, Natasha had in the final handful of a long time begun to give good results with them on the two stage and display.

Being a baby, Richardson appeared in 'The Cost of your Light Brigade,' directed by her father, Tony Richardson, but her acting profession was honestly released afterwards in regional theater. In her 20s, as all the way through her profession, Richardson mixed stage and display screen do the job, regularly portraying sensual, complicated characters, her beauty offset by a peaceful, contained intensity. She was a sane, centered Mary Shelley in Ken Russell's hallucinatory 'Gothic' (1987), an early standout job.

The following year, she was excellent from the title function of Paul Schrader's stark, stylized 'Patty Hearst,' nailing the kidnapped heiress's demeanor and flat Western accent. (Richardson's finesse with many American accents has been a whole lot admired.)

In 1990 she starred as the title character within the disturbing cautionary fable 'The Handmaid's Tale,' alongside Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall, a second difficult position. That same exact 12 months she appeared inside of a 2nd Schrader movie, the chilling, erotically-charged 'The Comfort and ease of Strangers' as fifty percent of the few (with Rupert Everett) vacationing in Venice who drop in that has a odd mature duo (Christopher Walken and Helen Mirren).

Game of Thrones Season 2

Ned Stark who? Mourning final week's beheading demise of everyone's favourite hero from Game of Thrones ended with previous night's cliffhanger-packed Year 1 Finale. It absolutely was named "Fire & Blood" but I preferred to think of it as "The Night of Butt-Kicking Ladies." Final night's developments largely centered on the strong women characters and some major transformations that seem to point to a female protagonist in the next year -- which won't be until spring of 2012 (behead me now).

There were so many great scenes, so much awesome dialogue, so many hints and teases about what might happen and which female character might reign supreme, it's hard to predict who it might be.

There is Catelyn Stark, the widow of executed Ned, who proves herself to be the strongest member of the Stark family, even up against her son who was named "King of the North" and then tries to flee his responsibilities. The guy has some serious leadership issues that mommy needs to help him overcome. I love her last line to her son when she speaks about her two daughters, Arya and Sansa, who is betrothed to that sadistic bastard King Joffrey.

"We have to get the girls back, and then we will kill them all."

If Sansa doesn't murder said sadistic bastard king first, that is. First he orders the execution of Sansa's father, right in front of her, and then very last night he forces her to look at his head on a stick. At that moment, something happens. She changes. She not only looks at her father's head, but in a subtle act of defiance that even the king is too stupid to realize, she doesn't look away. Instead she asks, "How long would you like me to stare at it?" It's at that point that she makes her decision. She comes thisclose to pushing him off the bridge of a castle, but is thwarted at the final minute. I'm so glad she didn't -- I'm looking forward to her submitting him to a slower, more agonizing loss of life in Year 2.

There's also so much to be said for the others: Queen Cersei, the dark and mysterious "whore" Shae who I'm convinced is much more than that and who is aligning herself with Tyrion. And Arya Stark, who was kidnapped, dressed as a boy, and sent to work as a slave at The Wall, no doubt saving her life and also promising to give her the battle skills she needs to come back and avenge her father's loss of life.

But the most standout in my opinion was Daenerys Targaryen. Don't underestimate this seemingly submissive, pretty blonde. She's submissive no longer. At the start of the season she was married off to the brutal and powerful Khal Drogo for political reasons, and he raped her on her wedding night.

Last night, we witnessed a woman who miscarries a child as part of a bargain to save her husband -- who she grew to love and respect -- only to find that the witch Mirri Maz Duur betrayed her. Instead of healing her wounded and sick husband, she casts a spell that renders him a vegetable instead.

But what does Daenerys do when she confronts Duur, hands still on her belly after the miscarriage? She doesn't go psycho on the bitch like you or I would. She calmly begs for an explanation of why, especially after Daenerys saved her life. And then she ties her to a stake and burns her alive, "screaming." But not before she suffocates Khal Drogo and puts him out of his mindless misery, and places him in the middle of the pillar with three dragon eggs.

With that mean witch screaming in agony, Daenerys, who is "of the dragon" herself, walks into the flaming circle to the terror of everyone around her. She emerges unharmed, perfect, and gorgeous though stark naked and covered in char dust and ... three baby dragons. Which were positively adorz, by the way.
